5G and Networking
Pioneering Precision for High-Speed Networking Using Aker’s TCXOs and Differential Oscillators
Wireless networks such as 5G and industrial automation have completely changed the way people communicate, connecting people all around the world with just the press of a button. This new era of digital transformation is marked by high speed, low latency, and multiple connections. As networks require an increase in data transmission speed, as high as 800 Gb/s, precise frequency stability is needed to maintain performance.

To help meet these requirements, Aker has developed a family of frequency control solutions for 5G, networking and industrial automation applications. Our TCXO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) and differential products create significantly faster data speeds, lower latency and increased capacity needed in today’s world. Their high-frequency stability, low jitter and lower power consumption, make them ideal for meeting the needs of the high-speed data exchange required in today’s wireless networks. These innovative technologies not only deliver highly stable signal synchronization, but also ensure unparalleled reliability in complex environments.
Here’s how Aker’s TCXO and differential products provide significant advantages for these wireless systems.
